1st Configuration of my hardware:
For the first configuration of the material, it is necessary to pay attention to 2 important points- The configuration of the mobile Internet access of my equipment via the parameters of the SIM card and the Modem.
- Make sure that your mobile Internet reception is correct in your work area and that your receiver is correctly configured, especially if you work with cards from different operators: Orange, SFR (APN corresponding to the card operator SIM).
- The configuration of the GPS application via the NTRIP settings of my subscription.
- Make sure your GNSS receiver is correctly configured (Username, Password, DNS address, mount point). The manufacturer’s manual for your receiver and the delivery note will allow you to configure it correctly.
- Make sure you are in the work area corresponding to the work area you have subscribed to in the event of a local, departmental or regional subscription.
My equipment has already received corrections from the Orphéon network
Your hardware has already been configured correctly and you have already worked by receiving corrections from the Orpheon network, but you are unable to connect. Here are some simple but important things to check.- Make sure that your mobile Internet reception is correct in your work area and that your receiver is correctly configured, especially if you work with cards from different operators: Orange, SFR (APN corresponding to the card operator SIM).
- Make sure that your GNSS receiver is correctly configured (Username, Password, DNS address, mount point) or that these parameters have not been modified, especially if you share your equipment in a team with other users. The manufacturer’s manual for your receiver and the delivery note will allow you to configure it correctly.
- Make sure you are in the work area corresponding to the work area you have subscribed to in the event of a local, departmental or regional subscription.
- Make sure in the case of an hourly package that it has not expired and that you have hourly credit.
- Make sure that another mobile is not already connected with your username and password: use the Smartphone application or go to the customer portal to see if a mobile is already connected to the network.

Mobile Internet:
Before accessing the servers of the Orphéon network, your mobile must first of all be connected to the Internet in a stable manner. When you launch a connection, you can thus, depending on the behavior of your hardware, determine if the problem is related to the mobile connection when, for example:- You do not receive any error message, your mobile tries to connect without effect. Your authentication request does not reach the Orpheon servers.
- Connection sessions are short and follow one another. This means that the quality of your mobile internet connection is not good or is not stable.
- On connection reports, the server shows the message: “Connection terminated by rover user”

The data transmission format is determined by the choice of mount point
The mount point allows you to choose the type of data stream that will be exchanged between your hardware and our server, this corresponds both to the language that the hardware will use but also to the method of calculating the positioning that will be used. The choice of the mounting point therefore depends on your equipment, its brand, its capacities and the choice of the method of calculation of the positioning that you will use. Each manufacturer will favor a type of correction and the flow of data that will optimize the results of your work. For this, some major manufacturers have developed their own data flow that our servers are able to transmit. There are also standardized and normalized data flows common to all equipment and allowing the same performance to be obtained. On our delivery notes, we suggest one or more mounting points, so that you can configure them corresponding to your equipment, but you are completely free to choose a different mounting point available.

Self-check recommendations
In our recommendations for field phase measurement, we recommend the occupation of all known points in coordinates (RBF, NGF). To know these points near your site, the IGN provides you with the location of its terminals as well as a wealth of very useful information for the whole of France, Access to the IGN website (click to open the link )
- Control of measurement equipment (Firmware version of GNSS equipment, status of the rod, of the bubble, compliant configuration and configuration)
- Turn on the mobile and stand on a clear point
- Ensure good internet connection and service stability
- Connect to real-time correction services
- Start a first initialization session (8 minutes without cycle jumps for 6 satellites being one fairly widespread minimum recommended value) for subsequent fixing of integer ambiguities
- Centre, bubble, check antenna height and stability
- Perform measurement work while ensuring GNSS measurement conditions: sufficient number of satellites, GDOP < 3 – 4, SNR > 50 (on L1) or 40 (on L2)
- In the event of a cut warning by the receiver or in the event of lifting in a place prone to cuts signal (near trees, buildings, etc.), redo an initialization session
- Reoccupy the first point at the end of the lift
- Reoccupy the important points at least once after at least 20 minutes (see control sheet)
- Occupation of all known points in coordinates (RBF, NGF) (see check sheet)

RGAF09 as standard on the Orphéon network
As of Monday, December 16, 2019 at 06:30 UTC the Orpheon network uses RGAF91
Directly in RGAF91
The change is direct without user intervention. No modification is therefore necessary for customers using the Orphéon network, as soon as they connect to the network, the coordinates will be expressed directly in the new official reference WGS84-RGAF09.The RAAF91 – Always Available
However, for more than 10 years the Orpheon network has been working in the national coordinate reference system WGS84-RAAF91 which will therefore remain valid for another 3 years. Professional network users have become accustomed to using Orpheon and have configured their equipment and their work accordingly. We keep this possibility not to suddenly upset the work of many professionals.Keep the old reference system RRAF91
Some network users may still need to work with the old RRAF91 reference system for a while longer, to complete a job or resume an old survey without having to do any prior conversion.We thought of them:
We provide you with new mounting points allowing you to work in the old reference system. Reverting to RRAF91 will require setting up your hardware by selecting one of the new mount points that matches your setup.-

Switch from RRAF91 to RGAF09?
Coordinate transformation:
It is possible to use our online transformation tool or IGN provides the transformation parameters from local systems and WGS84-RRAF to the RGAF09 system as well as a CIRCE tool. Helmert parameters necessary for the transformation of coordinates expressed in old systems to RGAF09. IGN provides the parameters needed to transform RRAF91 coordinates into RGAF09 and vice versa. It is therefore possible to indirectly link GNSS work carried out in other systems to the RRAF91 reference. The table below lists the values of these parameters. Note in particular the values of the translations between the RRAF91 and the RGAF09 which differ up to 10 m depending on the area concerned. This testifies to the heterogeneity of the inter-island RRAF91.Zone | Martinique | Guadeloupe | Guadeloupe | Martinique | Guadeloupe | Guadeloupe |

RTCM versions 3.0 and 3.1 focus on optimizing bandwidth usage [6], higher integrity [7] and managing RTK networksMAC
Initiated by Leica Geosystelms and GEO++ in 2001, the first NRTK standard for network message correction that would overcome the problems of the various existing approaches. Concept based on the notion of master and mobile (Master Auxiliary Concept) allowing the Mobile to receive raw observation data from the nearest Master station in order to perform its correction calculations.MAX
This Leica Geosystems format is based on the principle of using a cell of several reference stations around the rover with a reference station (the closest). MAX corrections contain all of the cell’s correction information and provide the maximum level of accuracy and reliability for the rover. These corrections optimize the bandwidth needed to transmit the corrections.FKP
The oldest FKP method, (Flächen-Korrektur-Parameter) developed by Geo++, consists of the principle of transmissions of a model of errors calculated for the place where the mobile is specifically located. Subsequently, the rover calculates the corrections itself in the same way as in VRS. In addition the correction of a physical reference station is used in combination with the FKPs to calculate the individualized corrections for the position of the mobile. FKP corrections are transmitted in RTCM 2.3 format. This method which provides the mobile with more information is bandwidth intensive and requires stable communication quality.i-MAX
Introduced by Leica Geosystems the RTK network corrections are based on the position of the rover are calculated from information relating to a virtual master station created by calculations in close proximity to the rover in order to reduce the length of the baseline and present a level of lower error. The position of the master station can change to follow the movements of the mobile. Full GNSS compatible corrections transmitted in RTCM-3 MSM formatVRS
With the Virtual Reference Station, a concept introduced by Trimble, the rover interprets and uses network-correction data from a virtual base as if it were operating with a single physical base station on a very short baseline, this which dramatically increases RTK performance. However, it does not create a virtual vector. Full GNSS compatible corrections transmitted in RTCM-3 MSM formatFormat RTCM-2.x (DGPS)

Important: depending on the type of card or the age of the contract, the Roaming option must be activated
For many years at Geodata Diffusion we have been providing our customers with SIM cards. Since then, the legislation and invoicing rules for the Roaming Europe option have changed a great deal. Some of the cards delivered before these changes did not have the Europe option activated because at the time this option was chargeable and led to significant additional costs for exceeding the package. Today these options have become free and no longer generate unpleasant surprises. In general, roaming at national rates, which allows you to use your mobile plan from abroad without being surcharged, only applies to occasional use. Your consumption from France must be the majority. Could I use my mobile Internet volume in the European zone? You can use your monthly mobile Internet volume both in the European zone and in mainland France(1). For example, if your package includes 5 GB of internet and you use 2 GB while working in Germany, you will have 3 GB of your package left when you return to France. If your mobile Internet volume runs out, one of the following pricing conditions will apply until the date your plan is reset (depending on the mobile offer you have): – reduced flow, – blocking your blocked mobile internet, – off-package at the rate applicable in mainland France.Access to the Orpheon network
It should also be noted that mobile Internet access abroad does not systematically give access to the Orphéon network. For this, reference should be made to the network coverage area (Metropolitan France and the West Indies). To simplify, the Roaming Europe option is mainly useful for our customers working on the edge of borders, when their equipment “terminal” on a relay in the neighboring country. For remote countries, it will be necessary to take out an RTK subscription in the country concerned (example in England, Poland, etc.). We also recommend that you take out an RTK SmartNet subscription.For Orange SIM cards:

Message formats were previously limited to the L1 and L2 bands and a single signal per band, which is why it became necessary to use a new universal real-time data format: the MSM (for Multiple Signal Message) which is the new concept of RTCM-3 key allowing to present all GNSS observation data in generic form. The RTCM-3 MSM standard thus ensures data interoperability with all compatible GNSS receivers by transmitting standardized observations of GPS + Glonass + Galileo + Beidou signals for all L1/L2 and L5 frequencies.Antenna and Computing Engine
To be able to use the signals from the different constellations, the receiving antenna and the calculation engine must each be compatible with these GPS, Glonass, Galileo and Beidou constellations in order to be able to take their signals into account to deliver a position.Multi-frequency L1/L2 and L5
Based on the L1 and L5 frequencies emitted by the satellites in order to make positioning more resistant to interference and signal reflections, especially in an urban environment.Options and Licenses
Many equipment of all brands today are compatible with all of these signals, options and licenses can be acquired and activated to be able to use them. It is often possible to activate these options and licenses to upgrade your equipment now and benefit from the best positioning services. Depending on your specialty, contact your usual distributor without hesitation (Find your Orpheon distributor), he will know, better than anyone, how to answer you and support you in your projects.
The geometric regularity of our layouts
The Orphéon network has 215 stations in mainland France, all Full GNSS, i.e.: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou, as well as a historical presence in the French West Indies. The dense network of permanent stations is arranged regularly every 60 km. Each link in the Orphéon infrastructure has been designed to offer a high-precision RTK correction service available in all circumstances. Border areas are complemented by our partnership agreements within Europe.Click on the interactive map of the Orphéon network

-
A very regular presence, without compromise and without equivalent in France.
- The careful choice of layout for each of our 195 reference stations creates a linear and regular geometric mesh. Territory coverage is uniform wherever you are.With the Orphéon network, you work with identical precision throughout the territory thanks to a uniform distribution of stations over all the areas covered, whatever your position, the distance from the nearest reference station is never more than 30 km. The Orphéon network thus stands out significantly from its competitors who are multiplying the number of reference stations because of their disorderly location on the territory and whose coverage is losing homogeneity, sometimes leaving very large distances in the meshes of their network.
